THERMOSTATTING SYSTEMS OF THE MULTIPURPOSE LAUNCHING FACILITY FOR “ANGARA” CARRIER ROCKETS FAMILY

Abstract

When preparing «Angara» space carrier rockets for launching, the necessity arises for their sections, individual elements and propellants thermostatting. Described are the technologies ensuring the «Angara» space rocket complex sections and fuel thermostatting. Substantiated is the choice of the most effective, reliable, easy-to-work low- and high-pressure thermostatting systems developed by Cryogenmash on the basis of refrigeration air cycles including turboexpander-compressor sets. The systems operation is described, the prospects of development of this engineering industry branch for implementation of heavy and super-heavy class carrier rockets in future are noted.
